Well, my name is Katie and i'm a 28 year old Research Associate who got my master's in biomedical science. Basically this all just means i'm a nerd and like science. I started my weight loss in January of 2008 and initially lost 12-15 pounds but then put it all (plus some) back on.

There use to be a list of excuses here. But not anymore. The past does not matter, only the future. I'm overweight but i'm working on it.

My Goals:
To get into a bikini for the second time in my adult life, be one of those hot pregnant women i'm so jealous of...someday, and to be a good example for my future kids and to maybe be a professional water skier (ha!)

Mini goals: - 160-165 by March 1 - 155 by April 1 - 140 by mid July

My Program:
Eating with moderation, sticking to thefresh20 meal plans and making better decisions when I'm not on it. Getting as much exercise as I can.

Hi, Katie! Thanks for your comment on Shadow. We believe he is at least part Schipperke--with some terrier or something thrown in. We have a full-blooded Schipperke and he is taller than her and his ears are different, but together they are a formidable team!

Things are looking better, but they're still pretty stressful... as far as us, we're not seperated, we're not fighting, we're just getting along. I've "put my guns down" so to speak, and I think he has too.... :)
